Facebook is coming to be the main technology headline in today’s news. In the fox news article a teenager was fired from calling her job boring on Facebook. I think this situation went overboard on the decision to fire the teenager. It explains that “Kimberley Swann made the comment about Ivell Marketing and Logistics Limited in Clacton, Essex, England where she had begun working as an administrator. She claims she did not name the company online and was happy in the job. The 16-year-old was fired with "immediate effect" after posting the negative comment on the social networking site.” Facebook is making people nosey to their friend’s information. You have to be very careful of what you say or put on the site. It would hurt me dearly if I would have made a comment like the one Kimberley Swann made, and my job would have fired me.
In another article its states that “Facebook is trying to regain the trust of its users by introducing new privacy controls that give users the ability to preserve social distinctions between friends, family and co-workers online. The site has been the target of two major rebellions by its users in response to new features that many felt exposed previously private information to wider view.” I believe by going back to how facebook was in the beginning without the news feed it would make the users feel like they have some privacy. Today on Facebook you lose all privacy as people know what you're up to all the time and you also get people you've hardly ever spoken to all of a sudden wanting to become your friend in order to increase their friend numbers! All in all it’s very addictive and a good way of staying in touch. Overall, Facebook is still one of my favorite sites.
